S City,
It had been a week since Chuxun disappeared without a trace.
Ji Tianze went from confusion to panic, and now he was almost driven crazy. He looked for Chuxun during the day and couldn't sleep at night. Chuxun had never left his life for such a long time … Would Chuxun come back? He even felt that it was a good thing if Chuxun was determined to cut ties with him. He called Chuxun but couldn't get through. Was it necessary to leave his phone on when traveling? He was really afraid that something bad had happened to Chuxun.
He had nightmares all night long. He dreamed that Chuxun was hit by a car and his cold and pale body was placed in a small freezer in the morgue. His parents and friends didn't claim him and he lay alone in a plastic bag. It was so pitiful.
Humans were such creatures. If they didn't cherish what they had, they would regret it when they lost it.
Ji Tianze was the only child in his family. His father was a business executive. Although his mother was a housewife, she was quite well-educated. He grew up in a family that was envied by his classmates. Most of his uncles were successful people. Only his youngest uncle was especially rebellious.
That was the first time in Ji Tianze's life that he knew about homosexuality.
When he was young, he would go back to his hometown with his parents every Spring Festival and spend the New Year with his grandparents. The whole family would gather together. He had a vague impression of his youngest uncle. He seemed to be a gentle and handsome young man. His youngest uncle was the youngest of his generation. He was much younger than his father, only ten years older than him. He remembered that his youngest uncle had a gentle smile. He even gave him a box of foreign chocolates and Transformers toys. At that time, it was still a rare thing.
It was probably the New Year's Eve when he was ten years old. He and his friends were tired from playing outside and went to bed early. In the middle of the night, he was awakened by the noise outside. He ran out barefoot. The door of the old house was half open. The people inside were arguing fiercely. He secretly went to take a look.
He saw his grandfather hitting his youngest uncle with a crutch. He could hear the horrible sound of flesh being hit. There was a big bruise on his cheek and his mouth was full of blood.
He scolded him as he hit him. "How dare you hit a chair! I might as well kill you so that you don't go out and embarrass yourself! "
Small book pavilion
Ji Tianze was very scared. He wanted to run away, but because he was scared, his legs were weak, and he stood still. He was afraid that his uncle would be beaten to death.
Little Uncle knelt on the ground and raised his eyes. Like a cornered beast, he suddenly laughed and retorted sharply, "Dad, you don't understand. It's not that I didn't learn well. This is hereditary. The Ji family has the gene of liking men in their blood, and it was passed on to me. In the future, I may not be the only one in the Ji family who likes men. I'm a bastard, and you're an old bastard. "
Grandpa got even angrier and almost beat him half to death. Ji Tianze saw a pool of blood and was so scared that he cried. Then, his father found him.
More than ten years had passed, but he still remembered this incident.
Later on, Little Uncle left. She heard that he went abroad and never came back.
But whenever he thought of Little Uncle's words, he would still feel frightened.
Little Uncle was a notorious negative example in the eyes of the elders. Every time Little Uncle was mentioned, his father and uncle would scold him several times, saying that he disobeyed his elders and was ignorant and incompetent, so that the younger generation could learn from it. However, they did not mention that he was gay. He was the only one among the younger generation who knew, and he had never told anyone.
Ji Tianze had another dream. He dreamed that he finally found Chuxun and brought Chuxun home.
Little Uncle was at his house. Little Uncle and Dad were quarreling. Suddenly, Little Uncle pointed at him and said to Dad, "Haha, big brother, see? I told you that I'm not the only gay in our family. You hate me so much, but in the end, your precious son is also with a man."
He clapped and laughed. Dad looked at him with hatred and disgust.
Ji Tianze was awakened by the nightmare and broke out in cold sweat.
What should he do?
What could he do?
He did not want to be gay, but he really could not let go of Chuxun.
How could Chuxun be like this? He came into his life without permission, treated him well, and then ran away without permission.
After work, Ji Tianze went to Chuxun's house again. The door was tightly shut, and there were no signs of anyone coming back.
Ji Tianze sighed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly smelled a faint stench coming from the house.
He suddenly thought of the possibility that Chu Xun hadn't left at all and that something had happened to him at home …
Ji Tianze quickly found the property management and told them that he was Chuxun's friend. He was worried that Chuxun had met with an accident at home. The property management was also afraid that someone would die, so they opened the door for them to go in and check.
Chuxun's house was empty. It had not been cleaned for a week, and there was a thin layer of dust in the room.
They found the source of the stench. It was not a corpse, but a piece of pork that was forgotten to be put in the fridge.
They also searched his wardrobe and fridge, but did not find a murder scene.
However, Ji Tianze felt that it was strange. Chuxun was a cautious person. If he went out for a vacation, why did he not tidy up his room? There were a few pieces of his favorite clothes in the wardrobe that he did not take with him. Chuxun had left in a hurry.
The property management was already suspicious of his intentions. He said politely, "Sir, since there is no problem, please leave."
This person was really looking for trouble. If the owner of the house came back and found out, he might complain about them.
Ji Tianze had no choice but to leave.
Before he left, Ji Tianze saw a plastic bag under the coffee table. It was printed with the name of a certain hospital. He ignored the property management's urging and walked to the coffee table to take out the plastic bag.
There was a thick stack of documents inside. There were CT scans, X-rays, various examination reports, and diagnosis results.
The latest report was last Monday.
He suddenly recalled that Tuesday morning when Chuxun lowered his head and said to him, "I have something to tell you …"
Suddenly, he understood everything.
Why did Chuxun sound like he was about to cry? Why did he say so many hurtful words?
He sat down, covered his face, pressed his forehead, and took a deep breath.
How sad must Xiao Xun be? Where would he be now? He must be very lonely …
"Sir, please leave." The property management helplessly urged, "Sir, this is not your home. Please leave quickly."
He locked the door and got off work. He went to tell the security not to let this lunatic into their neighborhood next time.
The weather in Las Vegas was good today. Although the temperature was not high, the sun was bright. He only needed to wear a thin sweater and a windbreaker to keep warm.
Chuxun raised his head. The sky was blue and numb. One look at it and he would be in a good mood.
On the streets of this foreign country, he saw unfamiliar faces. However, even if Xiao Lin insisted on holding hands with him, no passersby would find it strange and look at them.
Today's itinerary was to see the Cirque du Soleil performance.
They had a good view from where they were sitting and looked into the distance. The performer seemed to shrink into a small person. He threw himself up and down in the air. He was as agile as a little bird. He flipped up and down on the rapidly spinning giant iron wheel. It was extremely thrilling and caused exclamations from time to time. The audience was on tenterhooks, afraid that they would witness the moment of death in the next second.
Chu Xun admired them. How courageous were they?
He sighed and said, "I'm not as agile as him even on flat ground."
Lin Yanchen asked, "Are you interested? I've practiced parkour before. I can take you to play. "
Chuxun quickly waved his hand, "No, no, my old bones can't stand the torture. I'll just watch. "
Chuxun thought about it and added, "You should play less of these dangerous activities in the future. Didn't the news say that thousands of people die from parkour every year? Before, I saw that it was popular for young people to not install safety devices and take selfies with one foot out of a tall building or cliff. A lot of people died. I really don't understand. It's fine if acrobats are forced by others, but why would someone risk their life for a photo? Don't do such a stupid thing. "
Lin Yanchen said, "Okay, if you don't want me to do it, I won't do it."
The performance ended and the audience dispersed.
They were walking together when Chuxun suddenly remembered that he took off his jacket and left it on the chair. He turned back to look for it and forgot to tell Lin Yanchen.
Lin Yanchen let go of Chuxun for a few seconds. He turned around and found that he was gone.
